Russian Roulette

(B. Walker, J. Harte, D. Child)
Too many temptations too good not to taste.
I keep tempting my fate again and again.
This world¡¯s full of pleasure.
I keep fallin¡¯ for the bait.
Can¡¯t stop now, can¡¯t stop later baby, it¡¯s too late.
Sometimes it feels just like I¡¯m putting a gun right to my head.
My mind can¡¯t see the danger signs,
Till the lights are flashin¡¯ red,
Till I¡¯m almost dead.
I keep playin¡¯ Russian roulette.
It¡¯s a deadly game, you don¡¯t live to regret.
I keep playin¡¯ Russian roulette.
Livin¡¯ for the thrill of pullin¡¯ the trigger.
I¡¯m crawlin¡¯, I¡¯m prowlin¡¯, I¡¯m howlin¡¯ at the moon.
But I¡¯m playing the devil with my very soul.
Night action, I¡¯m searchin¡¯, I¡¯m seekin¡¯ satisfaction.
I¡¯m in a tailspin dive, I¡¯ve lost control.
Sometimes it feels just like I¡¯m tying a noose right around my neck.
No pain when your in the fast lane.
But you better hit the deck,
Cus¡¯ your gonna wreck.
I keep playin¡¯ Russian roulette.
It¡¯s a deadly game you don¡¯t live to regret.
I keep playin¡¯ Russian roulette.
Livin¡¯ for the thrill of pullin¡¯ the trigger.
**Liner note: ¡°In the age of the AIDS epidemic, having sex can
be like playing Russian Roulette. If you¡¯re going to play, then play
it safe. Use a condom!!!¡±
